ANGELO afnam, vor cHIeAeofILLINoIs 'Y To all wiwim i may. concern:

' Be itl known that'I, ANGE'o RAJma citizen ofthe United States, residing at Chr' l Y 1111161 ends Off-the Clipsare (pjon'he'ctd tozth,

cago, in the county of Clookand State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful VImprovements in a' Wheel', of which the following. is a specilication. Y

This inventionrelates to vehicle wheels designed for use more particularly upon aut0mobiles,'auto trucks, bicycles and the like, and -has for one of its objects to producea tire construction for wheels of this class 'of improved efficiency and durability and which is non-puncturable and at the' same Atime light and resilient.` 1

f With these and other objects in view,'the invention consists in certain novelzfeatures of construction as hereinaftery shown and :de-

scribed and then specifically pointed' out in" the claim, and in the drawings illustrative of the `preferred embodiment Aof the inven-l tion. y.

Figure l1 is a Side view, partly in section, of a vehlcle wheel having 1ts`r1m` and tire constructed. in y' accordance with the .inven f tion,

Fig. Y2 is an enlarged transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

The improved tire structure may be adapted without material structural change to wheelsl of various formsbut for the pur- .pose of villustration is show-n applied to a vconventional wheel of thev usual construc- .arranged tobear upon the outer edgelof the narrow plate 14 and against thetire member', v

felloe 12 isan annularrelatively wide holding plate 13, and bearing vagainst the other side face of the felloe is another narrow annular holding plate 14. v y
